Morales’ tried-and-tested strategy is to aggregate multiple foreign sales. So far, “Sorrow” has been sold by Germany’s Match Factory to Italy (Ladybird), Sweden, Norway, Poland and former Yugoslavian territories. Latin America and France are under negotiation. Thanks to heat generated by the Berlin win, Wanda has increased Spain’s print run from nine to 19 copies.

“Sales aid immensely to continue working with the same directors,” Morales says, since it’s not every day a Latin American can win a Berlin Golden Bear.
